Why the duck did I go on the rip last night knowing I had to move out of my gaff today?

Sweat rolling off me and my brain is throbbing like a bastard. Kill me.

Liam McPoyle

Oh god, there is nothing worse than having to do physical work when in a jocker, its just awful.

Where did you end up moving to?

If you dont mind answering of course!

Wow cheers for the offer man but I'm all done now anyway. Just sitting in an empty flat waiting for the landlord to show then have to kill a few hours until my pick-up arrives.

Would love to go lie down for a while but my bed has no sheets anymore

I'm getting picked up at about 5.30 so probably won't make it over. If they're delayed I'll swing by.

Jaysus, Temple Bar was a state yesterday. Paddy's day with 6 extra colours.

Quiet weekend. Been watching Glastonbury since Friday. And went for a few last night. With the buskers out in the street it was good craic.

Nice one. I still maintain you're going to the wrong end of California though :P

A couple of friends posted up great photos on facebook last night, the temptation to book some flights to San Diego was strong. Saving sucks balls.

Staying with my bessie for 2 nights until I can move into the new gaff tomorrow. This morning I realised I'd forgotten to pack cuff-links, so my mate subbed me a pair.



Walking around the office with these on all day. Morto...

D'Agger

Back in Cork after the weekend in Dublin, had to stop in Kilkenny on the way for work & I've training when I finish up this evening so I'm expecting to be comatose tomorrow!

I'm heading to the Slayer gig in the Academy tonight so am considering killing some time by having a few scoops in perhaps Cassidy's on Westmoreland St, anyone fancy joining me from around 6:30 to 8:15 or so?

Completely agree. I spent a year using them and they had no qualms whatsoever lying to me and prospective employers.

It's Friday and the football is back after what feels like a month hiatus!!

Pints!

Listening to Bill Burrs podcast - had no idea he did one so I'm a happy camper at work, he just described somebody as 'looks like the result of Freddy Mercury fúcking Joseph Stalin'

How's everyone? Weekend plans?

Knex*

I listen to Burr's podcast sporadically. You get some gems, then others are just him talking plainly about the week he had. Still enjoyable moments even in those ones, though.

Was at his gig in Vicar Street in December, and he did a podcast when he got back saying how different, and enjoyable the Irish crowd were. There's snippets of it if you even youtube, "Bill Burr Irish", or something similar.

His latest one is quite good anyway - he's on about EDM artists in Vegas earning a fortune and so on, very easy to listen to even if he's on about mundane shíte

Would definitely try go see him next time he's on our fair island

I couldn't recommend it more. He's probably my favourite standup, closely followed by Jim Jefferies. Louis CK and, oddly, Kevin Bridges are up there for me as well.

Couldn't believe he came to Vicar Street, and for something like 30 quid a ticket. Its like the World Cup being played in your back garden

So happy to be off & home alone for the weekend!

Going to try Bikram yoga tomorrow morning - first time going to a yoga class, match Sunday morning then and I might pop to the Kerry vs. Cork match after depending on the weather

Dublin is fúcking freakingly small.
Bordering on inbreeding...
:mad:

D'Agger

I got lost driving around Dublin for an hour recently....small she aint, was trying to get from Ranelagh to Rathfarnam....ended up near Howth


Stupid satnav!

Oh also H'ON KERRY!!

Slattsy

I'd get lost in parts of Dublin myself and im born and bred here.
Dont beat yourself up!!


Great win for Kerry, serious rivalry between Kerry and The Dubs but i always want to see Kerry in Croke Park against Dublin more than any other team, athmosphere is amazing.
That game last year. THAT GAME !! Wow.

How the hell did that happen? Did the Luas scare you and you ran away?
No magic roundabouts in Dublin... that I'm aware of :pac:

D'Agger

It was sat nav related - I was looking for Grange park and hit grange road or something - had no idea where I was going so going so took me a while to realise I was going in the wrong direction :pac:

How were all your weekends lads?

What's the latest? Are 3 gigs going ahead or all over?

Kev.OC

Last I heard was on the 2pm news on the way home. Apparently Peter Aiken (sp?) has left the country to go speak to Garth Brooks in person. Meanwhile the issue here is going to one the the higher up courts, but I'm not sure which.

Pawwed Rig

I kind of have a bit of sympathy for the residents after being told one thing by the GAA and then the opposite happens in reality. Bit of a shambles though when they can announce a concert 'subject to license'. You would think that all the paperwork should be in place before they sell hundreds of thousands of tickets.

Pawwed Rig

All 5 shows cancelled.
